Maine Humanities Council Oral History Workshops

Dear Friend and Oral History Workshop Participant,

The Maine Humanities Council has good news! Jo Radner, who led the Oral History Workshop that you attended, has agreed to offer a follow-up session (or sessions) to those who are interested in taking their interviewing and recording skills to a higher level. I hope you will help us evaluate the interest in the proposed follow-ups and, if you are interested, help us design them. Either way, I would very much appreciate your taking a few minutes to complete and return the enclosed questionnaire in the envelope provided.

Thanks so much for your help.
